This entry is part 8 of 14 in the series The Modern Priscilla - July 1913

These magazine advertisements feature another adjustable dress form advertisement, perfume advertisement, Blue-jay corn plasters ad, an advertisement for The AlbeMarle-Hoffman Hotel overlooking Madison Square in NYC (“a good room at $1.50 per day, and a good room with a bath for $2 per day “- imagine paying that in NYC nowadays!).

The “Everyday Housekeeping” column’s theme this month was tips about how to entertain on a porch in the summer. This covered table settings (with lace table cloths), floral arrangements, an idea for a sandwich with “Japanese salad filling”, and ways to serve cofee.

The last pages included tips for making embroidered collars and crocheted accessories article continued.
